Scott Levy, better known as Raven (born 1964) is an American professional wrestler. He has wrestled for every major wrestling group in the United States since 1991. He also has an IQ of 143. A journeyman, Levy had made a mark in every major company in professional wrestling. He will probably be remembered for his days in Extreme Championship Wrestling than for his other tenures in wrestling.
Career
He got his first major exposure as a wrestler in 1991 in World Championship Wrestling under the name "Scotty Flamingo," and won the short lived WCW Light Heavyweight Title in 1992. He left later that year.
In early 1993, Levy joined the then-World Wrestling Federation but was made into a manager and dubbed "Johnny Polo" and was placed with the Quebecers tag team. He led them to a few reigns as WWF World Tag Team Champions before leaving in 1994. He would then start to make his impact in professional wrestling.
In 1995, now bulked up to approximately 230 lb (104 kg), Levy debuted in Extreme Championship Wrestling under the name "Raven." Levy enjoyed two reigns as ECW World Heavyweight Champion during his tenure in ECW. He started a legendary feud with Tommy Dreamer that lasted for the next two years, before Dreamer finally defeated him at the ECW Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in June 1997.
Levy then left ECW and rejoined WCW soon after that. He would enjoy some moderate success in WCW, but never reaching main event status like he did in ECW. He won the WCW Tag Team Championship and the WCW U.S Heavyweight Championship before leaving WCW in 1999. He rejoined the ECW and teamed up with his old enemy, Tommy Dreamer.
A reluctant tag team, Raven and Dreamer reigned as ECW World Tag Team Champions for several months. When they lost those belts, they feuded once again before Levy left for the WWF in the summer of 2000.
Levy's WWF/WWE run was not a success. He could not reach above midcard status and was used mainly on the "B" shows or in the hardcore division. He won the WWE Hardcore Championship a total of 27 times before being released in early 2003. Levy's main exposure since then was for NWA:TNA.
